‘ The Gemini Factor is a supernatural thriller from the award winning author Paul Kane. (From the original Introduction by Peter Atkins – Author of Morningstar and Moontown, screenwriter of Hellraiser II-IV and Wishmaster)
Grateful, impressed and, just a little bit, appalled.’ And – once the stories converge in the tension-filled and well-staged climax – you’ll be grateful that he did. Paul Kane got there first and has imagined it for you. You might tell yourself you’re imagining things. All the time, though, you will have a sense that another story is taking place, one that you can’t quite see, one that is being told only in whispers, one that is a supernatural echo of the main narrative, its shadow self, its dark brother. Reading The Gemini Factor, you will feel you are reading a first-rate example of the realistic Police Procedural, one with an adorable and admirable heroine and many other characters about whom you could actually give a shit.
The surface narrative has a secret brother walking constantly alongside, hiding its footprints in those of its sibling, keeping always to the shadows of subtext and carefully delineated implication. In an extremely well executed example of form imitating content, the novel itself is “twinned”. ‘In some ways – and I mean this only as a compliment – The Gemini Factor is deceptively conventional: It moves along like a well-structured thriller – moves like a fucking rocket, in fact – but what’s fascinating to me (and will be, I trust, to you) is how it’s actually something else at the same time.
